Description : An antique Little Brown Spice Jar or Crock with Sgraffito handscript and original fitted lid, attributed to one of the Norton Family potteries (Bennington VT or Worcester, MA), c. Wheel-thrown, cylindrical form with eased shoulder, rounded rim with integrated inner ledge for a lid. Dip-Decorated in a rich brown, Albany Slip. Scratch-Inscribed on the body in large script: Nutmeg.

Condition : Very Good to Excellent overall with minor imperfections noted below. Original Lid with wear and tiny nicks on the button finial. The unglazed underside with several scored lines (probably for grinding whole nutmeg); see close-ups. These lids are very scarce in any condition.

Fingerprints noted at the heel on opposing front and rear sides. Note: these prints are fairly typical on most slip-decorated miniatures, Little Brown Jugs, etc.

Interior still smells of nutmeg! Inherent glaze, surface and firing imperfections noted for complete descriptive accuracy. See photos for complete details and close-ups and please consider them as part of the description. Approximate Half-Pint capacity; measures only 4H x 3-1/8W overall. Diameter of outer Rim: 2-1/2.
